Harry Kane insists he is not bothered in the slightest about the stick he has got for his goal against Stoke.

Tottenham star Kane became the butt of jokes after being awarded the strike against the Potters.

He got the faintest touch off his shoulder on Christian Eriksen's free kick and was eventually credited with the goal, after it was initially given to the Dane, following an appeal from Spurs and Kane

The episode led to Kane being cruelly mocked by rival fans, past and present players and even some clubs.

But he said: “People are going to jump on the bandwagon and have a bit of fun on social media but it is my job to be out there on the pitch and do my best for the team and work hard so it is just part of the game.

“People can have their opinion, it doesn't bother me in the slightest.

“Some people can laugh at it, some people weren't. For me I am just focused on my own job.”

Every goal counts for Kane who is chasing a third successive Premier League golden boot.

He was on target again at Brighton last night to take his league tally to 26, four behind 30-goal top scorer, Liverpool's Mohamed Salah.

Kane said: “There are still games to go. We will see what happens. Salah has been doing well and we have both got four games left so we will just have to wait and see.”
